Recently, I've been looking into MEV-related stuff again. Basically, it's about someone on the chain being able to "cut in line." You might think the same transaction gets processed first-come, first-served, but sometimes it's actually the miners/validators who get the benefit first. The biggest impact isn't on the big players (they're willing to pay higher fees anyway), but on ordinary users who stick to default settings and honestly confirm transactions: slippage gets eaten, transaction prices worsen, and they think it's because they're slow. During the upgrade/maintenance period, everyone was guessing whether projects would migrate; I think whether they migrate or not isn't that important. The key is that the ordering rules shouldn't always make retail investors the "scapegoats." Once the sense of fairness collapses, even if the chain is lively, it won't be enjoyable. Anyway, I still do low-frequency staking and avoid fighting over those few seconds.
